Rake is a quirky show, but with a very different protagonist and environment. Cleaver Greene (Richard Roxburgh) is a Sydney-based barrister who is recognised for defending the guilty and winning cases using unconventional methods.

As per collider, his extracurricular activities are as colourful as his courtroom antics: he owes bookies money, has a long-term relationship with a prostitute with whom he has built an emotional bond, and has continuous tax troubles with a foe whom he outwits at every turn.

Rake is a five-season wild ride all the way to the High Court of Australia, and it looks at how Cleaver takes on a wide range of ridiculous, seemingly unwinnable legal matters.
